Issues loading roms with MaLa/Groovy

(1/3) > >>

Ok....I thought I'd screw around with this a bit. I got it working just fine on the machine I'm in front of with little effort, but theres issues with the machine in the cab. I formatted an extra drive to try this with so I wouldn't lose my existing configuration. OS is TinyXP.

All paths are set to where they should be. Snaps come up, game list comes up. But when I try to load a rom, I get a fairly quick dos window, and right back to the list. Seems like its not finding roms, but paths are set correct in both MALA and Groovym. Game list was refreshed....I dunno why this is happening....

boardjunkie:
And if it makes a difference, I used the .143 32 "b" version.....

Calamity:
That can be due to two different things:

- The rom path in mame.ini is not right.
- Your romset is outdated so although the rom path is right the required rom fles are missing.

boardjunkie:
ok, its fixed. Apparently it was picky about where the folders were located. I stuck them all in the same folder as the .exe and it finds the files now.

Now, I'm trying to get all the ducks in a row before I install the CRT emudriver software, but in case I have to add/fix anything down the road, is there a way to disable the low res/scan rate mode to make changes? I would manually disable soft 15k to do this with the older non-GM installation so I could get at everything.

Well with CRT_Emudriver what happens is that most 31 Khz and higher native resolutions are still available. So in case you want to use a pc monitor for some reason you just set your desktop at say, 800x600 and you're done. On the other hand, 640x480@60 is always predefined as 15KHz interlaced by default, so selecting this mode will bring you back to an arcade monitor friendly output.

Another possibility is using a dual setup with a 31 KHz pc monitor and a 15 KHz arcade monitor connected at the same time. I do this all the time BTW. Of course it's your responsibility to use the right mode for each monitor.
